Apple's Foldable iPhone Delayed Until 2027 Due to Display Challenges
The tech giant faces significant hurdles with screen creasing and hinge durability, postponing its entry into the foldable market.
- Apple's foldable iPhone is unlikely to launch before 2027, according to TrendForce.
- The primary issue causing the delay is the crease in the folding display, a common problem in current foldable phones.
- Apple is working on a 'self-healing display' to address the creasing issue, but dust and debris in the hinge remain concerns.
- Other brands like Samsung and Huawei have already established a strong presence in the foldable market.
- Apple's entry into the foldable segment is expected to significantly impact market dynamics.
